Hello and thanks for your time! During the last few days I've been trying to convert a .pdf file to .docx (or .doc) using some of the converters you can find on the net but the results I got weren't "handy" (missing or overlapped lines, etc.). Am I supposed to extract first the main text and then insert the pictures and tables once I translated it, or should I be able to work with Trados and Word directly so in the end I won't need to do the formatting? By the way, I'm using SDL Trados 2007 9.0 and Office 2010. The converter I've been working with is SolidConverterPDF. Thanks in advance!

I tried the first one...

Thank you Michael for your support, I have tried the first one and it works perfectly fine. I'm still having some minor formatting issues, not because of the conversion software but the .pdf file. This is it:

It converts imaged-text (i.e., pictures of text, much like a fax) into regular text via OCR.

If your PDFs contain accessible text (which you can copy through the clipboard), the following FREE service does an excelent job with tables, even preserving shaded backgrounds and seldom miscombining cells:

Hello Michael, I created a text only MS Word file (no tables, no special formatting) as I only need to translate the main text. Of course then I'll add the tables, change the fonts and layout, etc..

All of you helped me a lot, I really appreciate it. I'm a student and so far I haven't learned how to use all the resources and tools available. It is sites like this that enable us to get in touch with talented translators all over the world.
